IMPROVEMENT lN' PRESERVING EGGS.

The Schedule referred to in these Iietters Patent and melting pm of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that-I, JOHN KAYE,.J1., of Setzlers Store, in the county of Chester and State of Pennsylvauia, have invent-ed a new andusct'ul Improvement in Preserving Eggs; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which 'will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same.

Mydiscovery relates to the art of preserviug'eggs, and enables me to introduce to t he public 'a new and improved process, by which their freshness may be continued for a long timeaud at a small cost; and I It consists in the use of the preserving-liquid hereinai'tcr named, in the manner described.

In carrying out luyiuvention and discovery I pack the eggs in any convenient water-tight vessel, in contact with each other or without any intervening -substance.

I then prepare a liquid by dissolving harm: in

boiling water in the proportion of one ounce ofborax:

to one quart of water.

This liquid is poured onto the eggs until the eggs are covered to the depth of about two inches.

vThe vessel containing the eggs thus covered may or may not be excluded'from the atmosphere, as may be found most convenient in keeping or transportation. By this means eggs may be preserved perfectly fresh and suitable for any kind of'use, for an indefinite length of time.

Having thus described my invention, 7 y

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patcut- The process above described, of preserving the freshness of eggs by pouring thereon a solution of horax in boiling water in the proportion of about one ounce of borax to a quart of water.

JOHN KAYE, JB.
